IMPROVEMENT IN, BOOK-BIINIDIITGF.

The Shedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the-same '1'0 uwhom it ma!! Co'wrll- Y" It will be perceived that this device is not unseemly Be it known that I, JABEZ C. TERRY, of Springi field, in the county of Hampdenand State of Connecticut, have invented anew and improved Book-drawing Attachment; and I do hereby declare thatthe fol lowing is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, referenccibeinghad to thc accompanying .drawing forming a part of this. specicatiomfin which- Figure 1 is a perspective/view of my` improved de vice affixed to a book, and l 1 `Figure 2, av cross-section `of the attachment and book. i i y A A M yinvention relates todevices for detaching books from the closely-packed rows and shelves of libraries, and consists in a projecting rib, grooved in the sides, and firmly attached to the back of the book.

B,`in' the drawing, represents the attachment at"- ixed to a book. y. y

I The thumb and fingers are t pplied respectively to the opposite coucavities, `and a-withdraival of the book easily effected. i

in appearance, but, on thecontrary, quite ornamental,

while it is entirely free from the objections heretofore made to loops 4and links,`since it is not at all liable to be caughton 'proiectiona knobs, or other analogous articles. v

Having thus described all that is, necessary to a clear understanding of my invention,

`Vifhat I esteem as new, and desire toprotect by Letters Patent, is

As an article 0f manufacture, a book-handle, B, of an .elongated form, and having a concavity in each side thereof, so that it may be readily applied to a book, as shown in dra\ving,and described in specification.v

The above specification of my invention signed by me this 6th day` of October, 1869.
